Adanim (Hebrew: עֲדָנִים, lit. 'Delights') is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the Sharon plain near Hod HaSharon, it falls under the jurisdiction of Drom HaSharon Regional Council. In 2024 it had a population of 466.

History

The moshav was founded in 1950 by immigrants from Romania on land located near the depopulated Palestinian village of Biyar 'Adas. It was initially named Yarkona BeHarhava (Hebrew: ירקונה בהרחבה, lit. 'Yarkona Expansion') before being renamed after Psalm 36:8(9): "You give them drink from Your river of delights."

During the 2026 Iran War, a foreign worker from Thailand was killed on 18 March by shrapnel from a cluster munition on an Iranian missile.
